Jesus
said, "When you have
done all those things which
are commanded you say ' we
are unprofitable servants,
for we have done that which
was our duty to do'"
Luke
17:10
As the Father's will is
joyfully followed in Heaven
so is the pattern set on
earth. For His will is the
establishment of love throughout
the whole of the human and
the creature world. Therefore
the challenge and glorious
destiny of each and every
creature, human and otherwise,
is the following through
of this eternal enterprise
: the power and the shape
of the enterprise is the
heart of the Father.
And if the pattern sometimes
seems difficult to recognise
as a loving design that
is because the underlying
purpose has been imperfectly
understood, or because the
measure of man's perversity
sometimes obscures the loving
design.
If you lovingly commit
your heart and your will
to the Father's loving purpose
He will make all things
good in your person and
undertakings in the fullness
of time.
